Re: [w3c/permissions] Retitle the Permissions spec to emphasize the infrastructure more. (#87)

@jyasskin I think you mean the spec has been inconsistent about its scope for almost a year. You [removed](https://github.com/w3c/permissions/pull/79) this disclaimer just 7 days ago:

> The initial intent of this document was to allow web applications to request and revoke permissions explicitly in addition to querying the permission status. This is an aspect of the specification that was controversial thus removed from the current document in a spirit of incremental changes: settling on a small API that can be improved.

Whenever we reach some consensus, it's surely based on the documents as written. Poor terminology and conflicting language undermines whether consensus was achieved in the first place. What percentage of participants over the last year read this document and thought they were agreeing to a passive API only?

I would argue these types of changes are substantive rather than editorial, when they alter the basis on which consensus may have been reached. I think this group needs to re-verify its assumptions.
